2 Titans first-stringers in danger of losing starting jobs ahead of 2025 NFL season
The post 2 Titans first-stringers in danger of losing starting jobs ahead of 2025 NFL season appeared first on ClutchPoints. While the Tennessee Titans map out a preseason plan for rookie quarterback Cam Ward, the wide receiver position remains in flux. And that's a spot where a current first-stringer could lose his starting job ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Ward currently has Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett as WR1 and WR2, respectively. But it's the third starting wide receiver spot that is still up for grabs. Van Jefferson is listed in that position, according to the ESPN depth chart. However, rookie Elic Ayomanor is pushing hard to get into the lineup. Also, on the defensive side of the football, rookie Oluwafemi Oladejo is putting heat on Arden Key and Dre-Mont Jones. Key should keep his starting position as the strong-side linebacker, but Oladejo could surpass Jones. Titans rookie WR Elic Ayomanor looking solid The reports have been glowing about Ayomanor across the summer. Included in the mix is Damian Parson of Bleacher Report. 'I spoke with a source close to the team recently, and I asked specifically about the Stanford product's performance,' Parson wrote. 'Ayomanor is shining and projects to assume the X-receiver role in the offense,' the source said. 'He's been learning from veteran Calvin Ridley, learning about route running and becoming a better player overall.' Parson added, 'Ayomanor is among the few receivers on the roster with the requisite height, weight, and talent to play as the boundary X-receiver. His ball skills at the catch point will offer Ward a different type of receiver than he's been accustomed to throughout his collegiate career. The 22-year-old tracks the ball well and plucks it out of the air with strong hands, potentially showing a reliable red-zone threat.' The injury to Treylon Burks, and the subsequent release of the possible start opened a chance for Ayomanor to get into the mix. In fact, Ayomanor's performances may have hastened the Titans' decision to cut ties with Burks. Ayomanor, who is 6-foot-2 and 206 pounds, has drawn a comparison to a longtime NFL standout, according to 'He has shades of Chris Godwin with his physical build, movement skills, aggressiveness to and for the ball, and his competitiveness,' CBS NFL analyst Charles Davis told Athlon Sports. LB Oluwafemi Oladejo hoping to crack lineup There is talk that Oladejo could make a major impact on the Titans' pass-rushing abilities, according to ESPN. 'When you see him playing off the ball, you see his ability to drop in space and provide some coverage,' assistant general manager Dave Zeigler said. 'When you're an odd front team, and you're playing with outside backers, it's valuable having versatility to kind of do some different things.' And Oladejo is taking every opportunity he can find to learn, grow, and get better. He said he studied T.J. Watt, Maxx Crosby, Micah Parsons, Jonathan Greenard, Danielle Hunter, and Aldon Smith. 'I went back to the basics and wanted to learn what a true edge player really is,' Oladejo said. 'The biggest thing playing on the edge is your get-off. If you have a good get-off and play with your hands, it can make up for anything. 'I try to impact people positively. I want to expand good energy because it's contagious.' Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson said Oladejo is still learning his position after a move from inside to outside linebacker. 'He's a guy who played [middle linebacker], so he communicates well,' Wilson said. 'Femi is a little obnoxious with his communication. He has a thorough understanding of the big picture of football. 'Right now, we're throwing the kitchen sink at him. We're not slowing down for anybody. The train is moving.' And teammate Arden Key said the rookie can handle it because intelligence weighs in Oladejo's favor. 'He's such a smart football player,' Key said. 'Just from playing middle linebacker, he's able to see the field a whole lot differently, from a different lens than a defensive lineman.' For now, Oladejo is going through the paces. He earned a pass defended against Ward and also registered a sack. 'It was great to work with my power more to compete with the guys,' Oladejo said. 'It was good to get some pressure and force some interceptions. We got to rush outside and inside, so we learn from it and work to get better.'

Titans' Cam Ward already turning heads with training camp ‘magic'
The post Titans' Cam Ward already turning heads with training camp 'magic' appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Tennessee Titans are entering a new era of their franchise this season with No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward as the starting quarterback. The Titans settled on the former Miami star as the top pick after he had an excellent season with the Hurricanes in 2024, finishing as a Heisman Trophy finalist. Ward was expected to battle with Will Levis for the starting quarterback job in camp, but he essentially won the QB1 role by default when it was announced that Levis has a shoulder injury that is going to keep him out for the entire season. Now, Ward is already showing off some of his highlight-reel ability with the starters. The ability to make these kinds of plays was viewed as somewhat of a blessing and a curse for Ward throughout the pre-draft process. On one hand, the athleticism and the arm talent that he possesses was second-to-none in this draft class and allows him to unlock some of those off-schedule plays. However, that also leads to some casual and even careless play at times from the top pick, who struggled with ball security at points during his college career at Incarnate Word, Washington State and Miami. However, that is also part of what made him such a tantalizing prospect. Titans fans will feel good after seeing him pull off some magic using those improvisational traits during camp against the pros. Of course, it's impossible to know whether Ward's freewheeling style of play will translate to the NFL level on the field until he gets his career underway in regular season games. He will have no time to ease his way into things, as Tennessee takes on the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 1 on Sept. 7. The Broncos had one of the best defenses in football last season and are capable of forcing turnovers against even the best signal callers in the NFL, so Ward will have to be on top of his game right off the bat in order to have a good showing. Maybe some of the creativity that he showed in college and is continuing to flash in camp can help bail him out of some tough spots.

The biggest surprise from Titans' first unofficial depth chart of 2025 NFL season
The post The biggest surprise from Titans' first unofficial depth chart of 2025 NFL season appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Tennessee Titans released their initial 2025 unofficial depth chart one week ahead of their first preseason game. While most of the listings were expected, the Titans' raised some eyebrows with their placement of running backs Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears and Kalel Mullings. The backfield did not change much over the offseason, with Mullings joining the group in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Pollard, who led the team with 1,079 rushing yards in 2024, unsurprisingly returned as the starter, with Spears expected to be a 1B to his 1A. The two began the 2024 season as co-starters on the depth chart, but Pollard separated himself in his first year with the team. Despite Pollard's emergence, head coach Brian Callahan teased the same idea he composed in 2024. Callahan said that he views Pollard and Spears on a similar plane, suggesting the two would be listed as co-starters on the depth chart again. The overall numbers might suggest that those are simply empty words, but there was some credence to that claim late in the year. Pollard dominated the backfield for most of the season, but Spears closed the gap down the stretch. Once Spears returned from a hamstring injury in Week 9, the backfield became a near-even split for the rest of the season. Spears played over 40 percent of the offensive snaps in five of his final seven games, including two games — Weeks 14 and 15 — during which he spent more time on the field than Pollard. Everything about Tennessee's running back room suggested that Spears caught up to Pollard, and Callahan finally had the two-headed backfield that he has been proposing for over a year. Yet, that is not what the Titans' first unofficial 2025 depth chart depicted. Titans surprisingly list Tyjae Spears on par with Kalel Mullings The Titans listing Tony Pollard as their starting running back on their first 2025 depth chart shocked no one. However, whether fans expected to see Tyjae Spears as a co-RB1 or not, nobody predicted that he would be listed on even ground as rookie Kalel Mullings. Spears and Mullings were both listed as second-stringers, with Julius Chestnut, Jordan Mims and Jermar Jefferson all on the third team. Entering the draft off a fantastic end to his college career at Michigan, Mullings was an excellent value pick for Tennessee. His bulky frame as a former linebacker immediately made him the frontrunner to be the Titans' short-yardage back in 2025, a role they did not have filled in 2024. Most fans still expected Mullings to begin his career competing with Chestnut for the third-string role, and not on par with either Pollard or Spears. The Titans' 2024 backfield was very much a two-man crew. Pollard accounted for 58 percent of the team's total rushing production, but Spears' strong end to the season set the table for what should be an intriguing tandem in 2025. Pollard and Spears were supposed to be on a tier of their own to begin the year, with either Chestnut or Mullings as a distant third-stringer. Mullings certainly provides an element that neither Pollard nor Spears can match. He comes from an esteemed running back-centric offense at Michigan, where he accrued 948 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 5.1 yards per carry in 2024. He did not have the vision, speed or acceleration to become an elite prospect, but many predict that he will carve out a respectable career in the NFL. Few just saw it happening so quickly, particularly on a team like the Titans, who already seemed to have their backfield set in stone. Kalel Mullings continues to impress Titans' coaching staff As good of an offseason as he is having, Kalel Mullings is still presumably a step behind Tyjae Spears. The two are listed together on the Titans' 2025 unofficial depth chart, but the latter is much closer to Pollard than the rookie is. Regardless, Mullings continues to impress Tennessee from the moment he joined the team in April. Running backs coach Randy Jordan gushes over the potential he sees in Mullings, stemming from his maturity and mindset. 'One of the things I had to get used to is the fact that he sees it through a different lens,' Jordan said, via AtoZ Sports' JT Ruhnke. 'He played linebacker for all those years. So he can tell you, 'Hey coach, the mike linebacker ain't fitting right.' That helps in the sense of protection, knowing where the ball's supposed to fit, where the defense is going to [line up].' The depth chart is certainly interesting, but Callahan will not truly reveal his hand until Week 1. The more the Titans can get from their running backs, the easier life will be for rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Perhaps Spears separates himself from Mullings over the preseason, but it was nonetheless a surprise to see the two in the same position on Tennessee's inaugural 2025 depth chart.
